Peone Prairie Cemetery is located adjacent to and W of Bruce Rd., 1/2
mile N. of Bruce and Peone Rds. in Mead.
Unfortunately there has not been a good record kept for this cemetery
until Jul of 1980. I first walked the cemetery, reading all of the stones,
then I compared with the Sexton books of Peone cemetery which were up
to 1998.
On Aug 10, 1999 I completed a new physical survey of this cemetery,
combining my readings with the 1998 transcription. If there was a difference
in the readings, I went with the headstone or made a note of it when
it was not evident which was correct. Transcribed and compiled © 1999.
I read the cemetery again on Apr 30, 2005, this time with a digital
camera. I have a photo of each headstone. I found many of the old stones
have been replaced with new stones, changing the reading I had the first
time. In some cases they only used the year and I have the full date.
I try to only list the headstone reading, but since this does include
the the locations on some from the sexton files, and some of the dates.
I left what was there before on the names. I also checked with the Sexton
files up to Jul 01, 2005 and added any I did not find a marker for.
These are followed by an * asterisk.
